Frozen Dead Guy

Started a new batch of #sake a couple of weeks ago, pressed today and forgot to post some pics.
I thought I’d try a new take on the spruce tip sake I made last year. This time I took inspiration from Colorado’s frozen dead guy, Grandpa Bredo, and put some Norwegian twist on it. I used a combo of #kveik and number 901 yeasts, Rocky Mountain spruce tips and juniper berries in the rice steaming, water from Twin Springs in Manitou Springs,, and some local aspen wood staves that I lightly toasted.

So far it is going really well so far. it smells a lot sweeter than I expected and I’ll add in a tea bag of spruce tips and juniper berries in a bit.
